A COLOSSAL WEEKEND is VEGA's genre-crossing, boundary-pushing festival for heavy, dark and experimental music. The festival presents over 3 days in May approx. 30 acts from all over the world, some of which will be completely new and unknown, while others will be established headliners. A Colossal Weekend has been taking place since 2016 and has featured names like Cult of Luna, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Deafheaven, Anna Von Hausswolff, Russian Circles, Wolves in The Throne Room, Emma Ruth Rundle and Alcest over the years.

In 2025, A Colossal Weekend will take place from 8-10 May in VEGA and Basement at Vesterbro in Copenhagen.

The first names on the poster Thursday are:

ORANSSI PAZUZU (FI)

Finnish ORANGSI PAZUZU has previously played on ACW. The band delivers psychedelic black metal with jazz and Finnish finesse to both ears, and they are a huge audience favourite. Their new album Muuntautauja is on the street next week.

CHAT PILE (US)

Chat Pile emerge from Oklahoma City's muddy noise rock territory with their second full-length album Cool World (2024). The band challenges their own comfort tones by mixing their sludgy sound with traces of metal grooves, goth-inspired lament and alternative indie-inspired hooks.

AGRICULTURE (US)

The American avant-garde black metallers AGRICULTURE is a visionary band that both celebrates and transcends the tropes of black metal with an ecstatic music that provides insight into the impenetrable layers of the human psyche.

MACHUKHA (UA/IE)

The black-metal/post-hardcore band MACHUKHA is a wild and intense project with Ukrainian Natalya and Irish Bláthin as creative driving force.

More names for the poster will be announced on an ongoing basis, and the final program is expected to be announced at the beginning of 2025. The final program will offer 9-10 acts every day spread over 3 stages.
